About ACE

A family-run Pasadena shop built on transparency, skill, and a genuine love for great cars.

Our Story

Two Brothers, One Standard of Excellence

ACE Performance is run by two brothers with a simple goal: be the kind of shop they'd want to take their own cars to. This location on East Walnut Street has been a trusted Pasadena repair shop for nearly 40 years, and as its family owners we've brought it firmly into the modern era, investing in the latest equipment, factory-level diagnostic tools, and the training to back it up.

What started as a neighborhood tire and repair shop has grown into a destination for luxury and performance owners across the region. Under our ACE Performance banner, we specialize in European makes, from Lamborghini and Ferrari to Mercedes and BMW, and proudly service the finest cars on the road, while never losing sight of the everyday drivers who've trusted us from day one.

We're family-owned and family-operated, and it shows in how we treat both our customers and their cars.

Proudly serving Pasadena and the surrounding communities, including San Marino, South Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, Arcadia, Sierra Madre, Bradbury, La Crescenta, Glendale, Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City, Los Feliz, and Hancock Park, and across the greater Los Angeles area, within roughly 50 miles of our shop.
